Chapter 1195: Sea Clan
Chapter 1195: Sea Clan
At this moment, the High Elf Commander panicked, and the speed at which he chanted the spell suddenly increased, and his voice became sharp and piercing, completely lacking the graceful and noble appearance he had before. But his efforts were in vain, and the swarming branches soon entwined him, wrapping him like a green cocoon. Then, a dull and mournful cry came out of the green cocoon, and the power of the realm world quickly faded.
When the realm world completely disappeared, only Lin Li was left floating there in the sky with a relaxed expression, and the arrogant High Elf Commander had disappeared with the realm world, leaving nothing behind.
In fact, if it were the Elder Zuma of the Illuminati, Lin Li might not have won so easily. It's only the High Elf Leader who wields an axe to exert a power that he can't even control in front of Lin Li, who has two seedlings of the Tree of Eternity.
After taking out the Sanctuary-level High Elf Commander, Lin Li returned to the Star, and the Star launched an extremely fierce attack on the High Elf fleet with full firepower under his control. This battle made Lin Li truly realize the power of the Stellar's firepower, and the High Elf's fleet became a prop for the Stellar to show its strength.
Under the fierce attack of the Star's full firepower, the few remaining High Elf warships, barely able to fight back, soon either sank to the icy bottom of the sea or were directly evaporated from the sea.
After the battle, Lin Li had a higher understanding of the performance of the Xingchen, and at the same time, he couldn't help but want to have such a powerful sea fortress. Although he already has a Sky City now, Sky City cannot be easily used, if there is a sea fortress like the Star, then whether it is to explore the Endless Sea in the future, or to develop the power of the Tower of Dusk to the sea, it will definitely be of great help.
But now, Lin Li only manipulated the fire system of the Xingchen, and he still couldn't interfere with the navigation of the Xingchen. Moreover, he didn't want to interfere now, after all, he had to wait for the Star to take him to his destination to see what Gresco's purpose was in arranging such a world.
After battling the High Elves' fleet, the Star seemed to be on a safer path, and there were no powerful sea beasts along the way. And Lin Li was also idle, in addition to studying the structure of the Xingchen, he was waiting for the Xingchen to reach its destination.
In this way, the Star sailed at sea for another six or seven days, and Lin Li finally saw from a distance that a huge island appeared in front of the Star. As the Star approached, he saw that there were countless buildings on the island, a large port wharf, and a lot of ships of all kinds moored in the port.
What kind of place is this, and is Gresco's purpose to get himself here? A lot of questions came to Lin Li's mind. He really couldn't imagine what kind of secrets could be hidden in such a prosperous island.
Finally, the Star slowly sailed into the harbor of the island, and when the behemoth arrived, the ships in the harbor avoided it. Although they had never seen the star in force, just from the size of the star, they knew that if their boat really touched it, it would definitely be smashed to pieces in an instant.
Lin Li came out of the Star, ignoring the countless curious or awe-inspiring eyes around him, and walked slowly towards the center of the island. As for the safety of the Star, he didn't need to worry about it, anyway, there was a small skeleton watching from above. Moreover, even if no one was watching, the Star was not something that anyone could manipulate, and even without permission, it would be impossible for anyone below the Sanctuary to safely step into the deck of the Star.
Lin Li walked towards the center of the island while curiously looking around at everything around him. This island is not only inhabited by humans, in addition to the most ordinary humans, there are also dwarves, orcs and even high elves. Moreover, even people with racial hatred seem to be able to live in peace here, although not to the point of calling friends, but at least even if they pass by, no one will provoke conflict.
On both sides of the street, there are all kinds of shops, from those selling the most ordinary weapons and equipment to those selling the remains of deep-sea monsters. And the most are the shops that sell all kinds of marine resources, in addition to all kinds of live and dead deep-sea monsters, there are also a large number of very rare minerals on land. For example, the magic metal of sea blue adamantite gold is a very rare magic metal on the mainland, but it is sold extremely cheaply here.
Lin Li walked around the island aimlessly, but he felt more and more that the island seemed to be somewhat familiar, standing on the top of the highest hill on the island and looking around. In addition to the direction in which he came with the Star, the other three directions of the island were surrounded by continuous mountains, forming a crescent-shaped bay, and the island was located in the middle of the bay.
Isn't this Cage Island? Looking at the surrounding scene, Lin Li suddenly remembered that before, he was invited by the Jindu Kingdom to help, the barren island that sealed the corpse of the Destruction Dragon. Originally, Lin Li didn't dare to believe it, but after carefully comparing his memory with the scene in front of him, he found that except for some subtle places, this place was ninety percent similar to the cage island in his memory.
Could it be that this is really Cage Island? Lin Li withdrew his gaze from a distance and turned to the surroundings of this hill, which was even a bit lively, compared to the barren cage island in his memory, there was really no resemblance at all.
At this time, Lin Li suddenly remembered that when he was walking towards this side, he vaguely heard the conversation of people passing by. Originally, he didn't take those to heart, so he didn't deliberately listen, but now that he thinks about the conversation of those people, it seems that their language seems to be a little different!
Thinking of this, Lin Li simply walked down from the top of the hill and returned to the somewhat lively street. And this time, because he paid attention, Lin Li quickly heard the problem from those people's conversations. Although the people, whether humans or dwarves or orcs, were talking in the lingua franca, the tone of the lingua franca was strange.
After thinking about it carefully, Lin Li suddenly remembered that the strangely toned lingua franca in their mouths was not a local dialect, but a very old lingua franca. In Lin Li's memory, this ancient lingua franca seems to have been popular in the world of Anriel thousands of years ago.
Thousands of years ago, it should have been the middle of the Dark Ages, and it was also the peak of the dynasty established by the High Elves, and the control of the entire Anriel world reached its peak. In that case, there was very little communication between the various races, so there was a very strange and even awkward lingua franca. In fact, this kind of lingua franca is not a real lingua franca, that is, a simple way of communication derived from the communication between various ethnic groups, without too much embellishment.
It wasn't until the latter part of the Dark Ages, as the High Elves' rule over the world of Anriel gradually relaxed, that there was an increase in communication between the various races. Gradually, the lingua franca began to be continuously optimized, blended with the languages of various ethnic groups, and became more suitable for the use of various ethnic groups, and the ancient lingua franca with a strange tone gradually disappeared.
Therefore, although Lin Li also mastered the lingua franca, the ancient lingua franca still made him very difficult to listen to. Fortunately, the changes in this lingua franca, except for the tone and words, are not too subversive changes in grammar, and Lin Li can understand a little bit of meaning although he is struggling to listen.
Lin Li walked down the street for a while, and there was already a guess in his heart that the world that Gresco had created seemed to be the world of Anriel thousands of years ago. This is a bit similar to the world of ancient Orana that he had experienced when he first explored Sky City.
Of course, strictly speaking, the ancient Orana created by the Immortal King is actually not out of time in the world of Anriel. It's just that due to the closure of the world, that world has not changed much, and it has been slowly developing like Orlana in the Dark Ages. So what about the current world, has it been developing for thousands of years, or is it just a scene-like world created by Gresco at a specific time?
At this time, Lin Li found a tavern next to the street, the tavern has always been a mixed place, and it can help him learn something about this world, or just about this cage island.
So, Lin Li turned around and walked over, pushed open the two half-hidden wooden doors, and walked into the somewhat dimly lit tavern. Even the taverns of thousands of years ago were not much different from the taverns of Anriel's World, dim and noisy, and the air was filled with the smell of alcohol, tobacco, and the disgusting smell of sweat.
Although it was still daytime, the tavern was already full, with human sailors in sailors' vests, bearded dwarves, and ugly orcs. As for the High Elves, they must disdain to come to this kind of place, and in the eyes of the High Elves, this kind of place should probably be said to be the dirtiest place in the entire Anriel world.
However, in addition to the common races such as humans, Lin Li also found a group of very strange-looking people or creatures in the tavern. These people are covered in fine scales, the top of their heads is bare without a single hair, and there are only ear sockets in the place of ears. The strangest thing is that under their cheeks, there is something like fish gills, and it opens and closes slightly with their breathing.
Lin Li squeezed through the crowd and came to the bar of the tavern, pinching his throat and calling for a glass of ale to the bartender at the bar. This is also the only wine that Lin Li knows, and there may not be any changes in thousands of years, whether it is the taste of rancid water or the low price.
"Boom!"
A large glass of ale was slammed in front of Lin Li by the bartender, and the yellow liquid with white foam was almost as if someone had poured urine on the cup. However, it was such an ale that everyone else drank it vigorously.
The dwarves, in particular, raised their glasses bigger than their heads and drank wildly, the wine flowing down their thick beards to their chests. Then, he slammed the glass on the table, patted his chest and burped, and continued to brag to the people around him.
Lin Li picked up the wine glass, endured the rancid smell and pretended to take a sip, and after putting down the wine glass, he asked the bartender very casually: "Bartender, what are the strange people over there?" ”
The bartender didn't show much of a strange look at Lin Li's tone, he might have seen all kinds of people in this place, and he had heard all kinds of accents, and he was already familiar with it. However, when he heard Lin Li ask the group of strange-looking people, the bartender's face also showed a strange expression, and he said, "Even they don't know, it's your first time going to sea." ”
"Well, yes, the situation on the mainland, you know, I went to sea with the elders of the family this time, and I wanted to see if I could do some business at sea." Although Lin Li was a powerhouse in the Sacred Domain, he was only in his early twenties, so this excuse would not be suspicious.
Hearing Lin Li's words, the bartender grinned and said, "I know that looking at your fine skin and tender flesh is not like a person who has been in the wind and waves." For the sake of everyone being a human race, I'll give you a reminder, if you want to survive on this sea, in addition to the old men of the High Elves, the most important thing to pay attention to is the strange people you mentioned. ”
"Oh? What are they from, you actually put them together with the High Elves. Lin Li cooperated very well and made a look of great surprise.
Lin Li's performance obviously made the bartender very satisfied, and while wiping the wine glass in his hand with a dirty rag, he deliberately lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Don't say it's you people, even those high elves, they don't dare to provoke them easily, they are the real masters of this sea." ”
In the era of the Anriel world, when it comes to the master of the Endless Sea, I am afraid that many people will think of the Jindu Kingdom. With its powerful alchemy warship, the Jindu Kingdom can be said to be across the endless sea, and no one or force can compare with the Jindu Kingdom. However, thinking that this world could be thousands of years ago, the bartender's words immediately made Lin Li think of another name, the Sea Clan.
Speaking of this sea tribe, as the name suggests, it is an intelligent race that lives in the ocean. It is said that during the Dark Ages, the High Elves ruled the skies and lands of Anriel's world, while the Sea Clan ruled the boundless Endless Sea.
